ello, welcome to my website. My name is Krzysztof Świątkiewicz
and I deal in historic reconstruction of medieval armours and other items.
I make riveted chain maille armours, aventails, coifs and other things. I am interested in making plate armour too,
especially the composite armour, characteristic of the late 14th century, plates covered with fabric and leather:
gauntlets, breastplates, cuisses, vambraces.
I also reconstruct medieval lanterns, arming doublets, pouches and bags. All that I make is handmade and based on
museum pieces, iconography and scientific descriptions.
I partake in various projects, which deal with the reconstruction of the military aspect of medieval life.
I try to reconstruct a person called Wierzbięta of Smogulec, a Polish knight who participated in a civil war in Poland
during the years of 1382-85, after the death of Lois de Anjou.
